But it’s saved me from having to return two foundations and really let me find the right match. It’s really generous of them, because I’m sure it’s kind of a pain. I want to take a moment to say that foundation sampling is probably one of the smartest things Sephora has ever done. Probably in summer it would be too light for me, but for Fall it’s great. So I blend bronzer in really well over my whole face and the color seems fine. The undertone was perfect the shade is a bit too light. So I went back into Sephora and tried a second sample in shade #46, Light with a pink undertone. The medium/light color was a good match, but the undertones were way too yellow for me. I tried a sample of it first in shade #52, medium/light complexion with warm beige undertones. I liked this foundation with just a regular matte face cream under it, but found it looked more natural with a bit of radiance, but not shimmer.Ģ: I wish they had a few more colors in the range. Then I either go to Garnier BB cream if my skin is super dry, or if it’s hotter out and my skin is fine, I’ll use Laura Mercier primer in Radiance. So here’s my new plan with it: I always start with Jergen’s Daily Glow for face. Like, embarrassing weird, and not at all like skin. When I have tried to put a ton on and blend out from there, I found that my skin looked patchy and flaky and weird. Some foundations you don’t have to super precise with, you can put any amount on and it will be fine, but I’ve found that this one works best if you start with a small amount and then build from there. This is one of those foundations where the right application is key. If you don’t apply is correctly, it looks flaky and scaley and weird. It looks fantastic in photos or on video.ġ. And one to two pumps max covers your whole face. Yay! Less junk on your face.Ĥ: For a “high end” foundation, the price is great! $34 for 1 ounce. Buuut, that foundation lasted all day in the sun, in a heatwave, and driving all over L.A (STRESS).ģ: It’s paraben free. This photo makes me laugh because I do NOT look happy after working 14 hours. I have gone through 12 to 14 hour days of working in the sun, in 100 degree heat waves and come home and my skin has still looked very close to when I left the house. Full coverage, scars totally covered.Ģ: It lasts. With this foundation, one coat over my moisturizer and primer did the trick. So I tend to have to put a moisturizer, then a BB cream, then two coats of foundation to get any coverage. Makeup artists have said to me that they put foundation on and then it just disappears. Your skin looks flawless.Īlso, I think because my skin is drier, it tends to “eat up” the foundation. With The Kat Von D, I do a light layer, then dab a tiny bit over the scars and everything is gone. Usually I will have to put 3 to 4 layers of foundation in that spot. I use some products to fade the scars, but it still looks like a light reddish rash on my left cheek. I kept breaking out and then instead of letting it go, I’d pop pimples and pick at my skin. My skin kind of freaked out for a couple of months. But the smog and just general dirt that comes from living in a city and being around millions of other people changed things. When I first moved to Los Angeles, I had flawless skin. It covers my light acne scars on my left cheek. I need only the tiniest dot of concealer after. Kat Von D Foundationġ: It is an awesome full coverage foundation. Next I might try the tattoo eye liner and the lock it concealer. I also bought a blush that is beautiful, in Por Vida. I bought the Lock It Foundation, $34 for 1 oz. ![]() I did not realize that Kat Von D created this line herself, she didn’t just endorse someone else’s line, and really made some unique, high quality, and highly pigmented products at great prices. When I first saw Kat Von D products come out at Sephora, I thought it was just another reality TV person who put their name on a makeup line to make that quick dolla dolla bill. ![]() I want to start out by saying how impressed I am with this brand. Mostly PROS, but some thoughts on how to use it or maybe how the foundation could be improved. I have used it in two different shades now and have lots and lots of things to say about it. I was recommended this foundation while browsing at Sephora one day.
